CPS-ECP Annual General Meeting

Apr 25, 2024

The 2024 AGM is just around the corner.  Join us from October 23 to 27, 2024 and get started with Discovering the New World!

Trois-Rivières, the first Francophone Squadron in Canada, will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2024. Trois Rivieres is located at the mouth of the St-Maurice River on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River halfway between Quebec City and Montreal.

A city of culture, Trois-Rivières has been proclaimed the National Capital of Poetry of Quebec. With its festivals, Festivoix, Trois-Rivières en Blues, Délices d’automne and its Cogéco Amphitheatre, which can accommodate 9000 people, it will blow your mind.

A port city, Trois-Rivières is mobilizing around a research project with the Port Authorities of Montreal and Quebec City to create the first Green Maritime Corridor in Canada. It is also a base for Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft, including the CCGS Sipu Muin used for icebreaking rivers and tidal flats along the St. Lawrence.

The Discovery of the New World cannot be done without CECI, the Interactive Event and Convention Centre integrated into the Delta Marriott hotel, a convention centre containing 24 rooms that can accommodate more than 1600 people, with its modern and flexible spaces,  with integrated technology and interactive video conferencing system.

During your visit, let yourself be tempted by a visit to the Cité de l’Énergie, including the Planet Energy Exhibition, the observation tower and the Prime Minister Jean Chrétien Museum, followed by a visit to the Trou du Diable microbrewery and a beer tasting.

You will also have the opportunity to visit the Borealis Museum, built on the site of the former Canadian International Paper (CIP) filtration plant, which tells the story of Quebec’s paper industry from yesterday to today, and a walking tour in the heart of old Trois-Rivières, which will take you directly to En Prison! (in jail!)

Jeanneau Yachts 55

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
